Second Saturday: DNA Case Study: Finding a Father (Classes and Workshops)
Saturday, June 13
1:00 pm to 2:15 pm Zoom
Presented by Patricia B. Coleman, Ph.D.
When no birth record exists, how can we identify a biological father? This case study follows a woman born about 1877 in Lee County, Virginia, and demonstrates how DNA evidence can resolve questions that traditional records cannot. Using tools such as Genetic Affairs, One2Tree, and BanyanDNA, this session highlights a clear, step-by-step approach to clustering DNA matches, building trees, and testing hypotheses to reach a supported conclusion.
To view via Zoom, register here.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. Save this link, and please do not share it.
Patricia Coleman is a professional genealogist specializing in DNA analysis and Irish research. Much of her recent work focuses on analyzing Irish records, building DNA match family trees, and identifying shared ancestors through evidence-based methods. She is a moderator for the DNA Painter and Genetic Affairs Facebook user group and frequently presents on genetic genealogy, Irish research, and practical applications of AI in genealogy.
